Warrior Season Three Return on Max

Warrior was a Cinemax original in its debut in 2019, with season two airing in 2020. Warner Bros Discovery renewed the series in 2021 for season three to shift to its streaming platform with the Jonathan Tropper-series season premiere date set for June 29th, which is over 2 ½ years since the season two finale in December 2020. The show, based on Lee's original writings, is set during the Tong Wars in the late 1870s that follows Ah Sahm, a martial arts prodigy who emigrates from China in search of his sister, who is revealed to be Mai Ling, involved with the Long Zii gang. He is recruited by her rival gang Hop Wei and befriends Young Jun (Jason Tobin) as they do jobs for the organized crime family.

Other players include Ah Toy (Olivia Cheng), a madam whose cunning is matched by her fierce abilities as a deadly assassin; Big Bill O'Hara (Kieran Bew), an Irish police officer often teetering on the brink of his questionable morals while trying to prevent a full-blown race war (which he obviously fails), Dylan Leary (Dean Jagger), an American Civil War veteran and leader of the Irish Mob who has a bitter disdain for the Chinese, which festers over time. The series also stars Joanna Vanderham, Tom Weston-Jones, Hoon Lee, Perry Yung, Langley Kirkwood, Miranda Raison, Chen Tang, Chelsea Muirhead, Mark Dacascos, and Joe Taslim.
